I can't be a man. But I can embrace the head of a man, the intelligence of a man, the spirit of a man. - Linda Hunt

I think people have always liked in me the combination of being the underdog because I’m a tiny woman, but I have enormous authority in myself.

When I was growing up, particularly during puberty in my teen years, I was so miserable because I elicited so much teasing and meanness from my teenage cohorts.

It was bigger than life. In some sense, I longed to be bigger than life, because I wasn’t.
